So who’s going to see the Nutcracker? I confess I’ve only seen it about four times, but I claim immunity from prosecution due to extenuating circumstances (during her prime Nutcracker years, my sister was on Guam and I was away from home).
C’mon, fess up!
Me! At Chaminade on the 20th.
I’d’ve rather seen it at the Hawaii Theatre, all things considered, but the Chaminade group was offering a special price and backstage tour for the girls, so I caved. đ
A few years ago some friends and I met up at TGIF; one brought her 16-year-old daughter along. At that point I realized the last time I’d seen the daughter was about 8 years earlier when she performed in the Nutcracker at Leeward. Yikes!
I love the Nutcracker! Where I live it tends to appear in the New year, after the pantomimes have finished. I’ve seen it three times – St Petersburg Ballet, Moscow Ballet and Sadlers Wells productions. I never get tired of the music đ
I saw Nutcracker about 22 years ago and that was enough. The little girl’s outfit was torn and ripped from dry rot…
However, if Jean Cocteau ever did direct a movie version of it–well, talk about surreal…
I still can’t get his Sleeping Beauty out of my mind..what a wonder!
